Bacon Twists Aka Bacon Wrapped Breadsticks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope easy-blend active dry yeast (I use just active dry yeast)
1 pinch salt
1 2/3 cups hand-hot water (aka nuke it in the microwave for a minute)
12 lean bacon, strips (Turkey bacon is best imo)
1 egg, beaten (this is for the glaze only, I have yet to use it)

Preparation

Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl and stir them together. Add a little of the water and mix. Add the remaining water and use your hands to pull the mixture together, to make a sticky dough.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 evenly sized pieces and roll each one into a sausage shape. Now is the time to grease a baking sheet.
Wind a strip of bacon around each dough \"sausage\".
Brush the \"sausages\" with beaten egg and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400 Bake the \"sausages\" for 20-25 minutes, until cooked and browned.
